information society, its development and mechanisms for tracking and
measuring its advancements. This dissertation summarizes the existing
research and theories developed on the topic of information society, its
evolution and variety of forms, factors that determine its growth and various
international initiatives aimed at guiding the global progress of information
society. By investigating the possibilities to quantify the information
society as a complex concept defined by the set of mutually correlated
indicators, this dissertation research the most convenient metrics that would
enable observing, measuring and evaluating the actual condition of
information society. In addition to providing the classification and the
evolution path of the benchmarking indicators that represent the cornerstone
of every methodology aimed at quantifying the information society, this
dissertation contains the overview of the most relevant methodologies used
for evaluating the information society worldwide. However, the main focus of
this work represents the design of the original model which specifies actions
required to track and evaluate the advancements in the information society of
Serbia. This model assumes: • theoretical foundation, • compatibility with
the European Union (EU) standards, which enables its broad use in the
projects with international cross-country analyses and comparisons, •
compliance with the particularities of Serbian information society and the
existing possibilities of Serbia for investment and further development.
Formulation of the model has encompassed: • selection of the set of
Information Society Indicators (ISI) in accordance with EU standards, but
with modification with regards to characteristics and development
possibilities of Serbia, • transformation of the ISI set that enables their
ranking according to the significance for monitoring of the information
society, • extracting a subset of the most relevant ISI, • Defining the

is based on the I-distance method and cluster analysis, as two adequately

allows possibility for identification, definition and calculation of the
various individual sub-indices of digital polarization, used in calculating
the total DPI (expressed by arbitrarily selected sets of indicators and
arbitrarily determined subgroups of the sample). Such features of the model
are valuable in terms of its applicability in conditions of the high pace of
changes in the ICT area. Social contribution of the dissertation is the vast
potentials of application of its results in the field of monitoring and
quantifying the information society, as well as in the process of guiding and

Predmet disertacije pripada oblasti informacionog društva, njegovog razvoja i
mehanizama za praćenje i merenje tog razvoja. Doktorska disertacija prikazuje
dosadašnja istraživanja i teorije o informacionom drušvu i njegovoj evoluciji
i oblicima, faktorima njegovog razvoja i međunarodnim inicijativama koje
usmeravaju i usaglašavaju njegov globalni razvoj. Proučavajući oblast merenja
informacionog društva kao složene pojave opisane skupom međusobno korelisanih
pokazatelja, u tezi se traži najpogodnija metrika kojom bi se prevazišla
složenost i olakšalo praćenje, vrednovanje i izvođenje zaključaka o aktuelnom
stanju informacionog društva. Pored evolucije i klasifikacije benčmarking
indikatora, kao elementarnih činilaca svake metodologije za merenje
informacionog društva, u tezi je dat i pregled najznačajnijih svetskih
metodologija za vrednovanje informacionog društva. Centralno mesto
predstavlja projektovanje originalnog modela koji definiše postupke neophodne
za praćenje i evaluaciju razvoja informacionog društva Srbije. Ovaj model
podrazumeva: • teorijsku zasnovanost, • kompatibilnost sa standardima
Evropske Unije koja omogućava učešće u međunarodnim projektima, analizama i
poređenjima, • prilagođenost specifičnostima Srbije, njenom aktuelnom stanju
informacionog društva mogućnostima za ulaganje u dalji razvoj. Definisanje
modela za merenje i evaluaciju informacionog društva Srbije obuhvatilo je: •
selekciju skupa indikatora informacionog društva (IKT indikatora) u skladu sa
zahtevima Evropske Unije, uz prilagođavanje specifičnostima i razvojnim
mogućnostima Srbije, • transformaciju skupa IKT indikatora, koja omogućava
njihovo rangiranje prema značaju za praćenje informacionog društva, •
izdvajanje podskupa najznačajnijih IKT indikatora, • definisanje podmodela za
kvantitativno izražavanje nivoa digitalnih podela preko sintetičkog
pokazatelja - indeksa digitalne polarizacije. Projektovani model je
verifikovan implementacijom na slučaju Srbije, kroz praćenje i analizu stanja
razvoja informacionog društva u petogodišnjem periodu. Tom prilikom je
izvršeno: • statističko praćenje, merenje i obrada relevantnih podataka, •
analiza rezultata istraživanja koja je omogućila sagledavanje aktuelnog
stanja, otkrivanje i kvantifikovanje ‘kritičnih tačaka’ u razvoju
informacionog društva Srbije, kao i predviđanje njegovog budućeg razvoja.
Stručni doprinosi disertacije su evaluacija razvoja informacionog društva
Srbije, na domenu stanovništva i na domenu preduzeća, merenje i procena nivoa
digitalnih podela i njihovog trenda, kao i lociranje ‘digitalno’
najugroženijih grupa u okviru populacije Srbije. Osnovni naučni doprinos
ostvaren je kroz projektovanje modela za praćenje i vrednovanje razvoja
informacionog društva. Model u osnovi sadrži metodu I-odstojanja i klaster
analizu, kao adekvatno kombinovane metode multivarijacione analize. Osnovni
skup indikatora je, nakon rangiranja prema vrednostima I-odstojanja i primene
klaster analize, redukovan na podgrupu onih indikatora koji su za ocenu
informacionog društva najznačajniji, jer nose najveću količinu znanja o
njemu. Smanjenjem broja indikatora značajno je povećana primenljivost modela
u praksi. U tezi je definisan i konkretan model za kvantitativno izražavanje
pojedinačnih i ukupnih digitalnih podela u različitim domenima, izvođenjem
sintetičkog pokazatelja digitalne polarizacije. Karakteristike ovog modela su
opštost, fleksibilnost i otvorenost za dodavanje ili izmene osnovnih
elemenata modela. To podrazumeva mogućnost za uočavanje, definisanje i
izračunavanje proizvoljnog broja pojedinačnih podindeksa digitalne
polarizacije, prema proceni mogućih uzroka digitalnih podela. Podindeksi, iz
kojih se izvodi ukupni indeks digitalne polarizacije (IDP), izražavaju se
proizvoljno izabranim skupovima pokazatelja, uz proizvoljno određene podele
uzorka na podgrupe. Ovo svojstvo modela značajno je u kontekstu aktuelne
brzine promena u oblasti IKT. Društveni značaj disertacije ogleda se
mogućnostima široke primene njenih rezultata u procesu praćenja i merenja
informacionog društva, kao i usmeravanja, podsticanja i harmonizovanja
njegovog razvoja. Primena projektovanog modela moguća je u svojstvu alata za
podršku strateškom odlučivanju, praćenju i minimiziranju digitalnih podela,
ali i za potrebe evaluacije složenih pojava koje su izvan okvira
informacionog društva, za koga je model prevashodno projektovan.</description><language>srp</language><publisher>University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences</publisher><subject>benchmarking indicators ; benčmarking indikatori ; cluster analysis ; digital divide ; Digital Polarization Index ; digitalne podele ; evaluacija ; evaluation ; I-distance method ; I-odstojanje ; indeks digitalne polarizacije ; informaciono društvo ; information society ; klaster analiza ; measurement ; merenje</subject><creationdate>2013</creationdate><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://data.europeana.eu/item/9200447/BibliographicResource_3000095542602$$EHTML$$P50$$Geuropeana$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>311,780,38517,76176</link.rule.ids><linktorsrc>$$Uhttps://data.europeana.eu/item/9200447/BibliographicResource_3000095542602$$EView_record_in_Europeana$$FView_record_in_$$GEuropeana$$Hfree_for_read</linktorsrc></links><search><creatorcontrib>Savić Ninoslava</creatorcontrib><title>Development of a model for monitoring and evaluation of the information society in Serbia</title><description>The main topic of the doctoral dissertation belongs to the field of

Predmet disertacije pripada oblasti informacionog društva, njegovog razvoja i
mehanizama za praćenje i merenje tog razvoja. Doktorska disertacija prikazuje
dosadašnja istraživanja i teorije o informacionom drušvu i njegovoj evoluciji
i oblicima, faktorima njegovog razvoja i međunarodnim inicijativama koje
usmeravaju i usaglašavaju njegov globalni razvoj. Proučavajući oblast merenja
informacionog društva kao složene pojave opisane skupom međusobno korelisanih
pokazatelja, u tezi se traži najpogodnija metrika kojom bi se prevazišla
složenost i olakšalo praćenje, vrednovanje i izvođenje zaključaka o aktuelnom
stanju informacionog društva. Pored evolucije i klasifikacije benčmarking
indikatora, kao elementarnih činilaca svake metodologije za merenje
informacionog društva, u tezi je dat i pregled najznačajnijih svetskih
metodologija za vrednovanje informacionog društva. Centralno mesto
predstavlja projektovanje originalnog modela koji definiše postupke neophodne
za praćenje i evaluaciju razvoja informacionog društva Srbije. Ovaj model
podrazumeva: • teorijsku zasnovanost, • kompatibilnost sa standardima
Evropske Unije koja omogućava učešće u međunarodnim projektima, analizama i
poređenjima, • prilagođenost specifičnostima Srbije, njenom aktuelnom stanju
informacionog društva mogućnostima za ulaganje u dalji razvoj. Definisanje
modela za merenje i evaluaciju informacionog društva Srbije obuhvatilo je: •
selekciju skupa indikatora informacionog društva (IKT indikatora) u skladu sa
zahtevima Evropske Unije, uz prilagođavanje specifičnostima i razvojnim
mogućnostima Srbije, • transformaciju skupa IKT indikatora, koja omogućava
njihovo rangiranje prema značaju za praćenje informacionog društva, •
izdvajanje podskupa najznačajnijih IKT indikatora, • definisanje podmodela za
kvantitativno izražavanje nivoa digitalnih podela preko sintetičkog
pokazatelja - indeksa digitalne polarizacije. Projektovani model je
verifikovan implementacijom na slučaju Srbije, kroz praćenje i analizu stanja
razvoja informacionog društva u petogodišnjem periodu. Tom prilikom je
izvršeno: • statističko praćenje, merenje i obrada relevantnih podataka, •
analiza rezultata istraživanja koja je omogućila sagledavanje aktuelnog
stanja, otkrivanje i kvantifikovanje ‘kritičnih tačaka’ u razvoju
informacionog društva Srbije, kao i predviđanje njegovog budućeg razvoja.
Stručni doprinosi disertacije su evaluacija razvoja informacionog društva
Srbije, na domenu stanovništva i na domenu preduzeća, merenje i procena nivoa
digitalnih podela i njihovog trenda, kao i lociranje ‘digitalno’
najugroženijih grupa u okviru populacije Srbije. Osnovni naučni doprinos
ostvaren je kroz projektovanje modela za praćenje i vrednovanje razvoja
informacionog društva. Model u osnovi sadrži metodu I-odstojanja i klaster
analizu, kao adekvatno kombinovane metode multivarijacione analize. Osnovni
skup indikatora je, nakon rangiranja prema vrednostima I-odstojanja i primene
klaster analize, redukovan na podgrupu onih indikatora koji su za ocenu
informacionog društva najznačajniji, jer nose najveću količinu znanja o
njemu. Smanjenjem broja indikatora značajno je povećana primenljivost modela
u praksi. U tezi je definisan i konkretan model za kvantitativno izražavanje
pojedinačnih i ukupnih digitalnih podela u različitim domenima, izvođenjem
sintetičkog pokazatelja digitalne polarizacije. Karakteristike ovog modela su
opštost, fleksibilnost i otvorenost za dodavanje ili izmene osnovnih
elemenata modela. To podrazumeva mogućnost za uočavanje, definisanje i
izračunavanje proizvoljnog broja pojedinačnih podindeksa digitalne
polarizacije, prema proceni mogućih uzroka digitalnih podela. Podindeksi, iz
kojih se izvodi ukupni indeks digitalne polarizacije (IDP), izražavaju se
proizvoljno izabranim skupovima pokazatelja, uz proizvoljno određene podele
uzorka na podgrupe. Ovo svojstvo modela značajno je u kontekstu aktuelne
brzine promena u oblasti IKT. Društveni značaj disertacije ogleda se
mogućnostima široke primene njenih rezultata u procesu praćenja i merenja
informacionog društva, kao i usmeravanja, podsticanja i harmonizovanja
njegovog razvoja. Primena projektovanog modela moguća je u svojstvu alata za
podršku strateškom odlučivanju, praćenju i minimiziranju digitalnih podela,
ali i za potrebe evaluacije složenih pojava koje su izvan okvira
informacionog društva, za koga je model prevashodno projektovan.</abstract><pub>University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences</pub><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record> |
